Like others have mentioned, this desk emulates the West Elm Parsons Desk, which is why I purchased it. I didn't want to spend the extra $200+ for the West Elm one, because I don't use a desk at home frequently. The desk arrived with a slight imperfection on the back corner, but I kept it anyway. The biggest negative is that the drawers guides are not metal which does not allow for smooth opening and closing. They are also pretty shallow which is fine for me as I just use them for extra pens, stamps, and other small office supplies. If I used a desk at home on a regular basis, I would definitely spend the extra money and get the one from West Elm. If you're hoping for an identical version of the West Elm one, then you will likely be disappointed. However, for me, it serves the purpose and looks clean, simple, and modern.
